Shuhei Yoshida believes AI tools hold the potential to unlock new types of gameplay that were previously impossible.

“What what the AI tools will allow new kind of gameplay that has not been possible.”
“Uh, but, uh, these games are being experimental and very short and small, and many of them, uh, are released for free as an experiment.”
“Uh, but the question is, if these games make use of the server, uh, that's going to be a cost, right? So the cost has to be covered by the users.”
